Mixology Bar Awards

The MIXOLOGY Bar Awards are held annually to celebrate excellence in the bar and cocktail scene across German-speaking Europe. They recognize the most innovative and influential bars, bartenders, and industry professionals who are shaping modern bar culture through creativity, hospitality, and craftsmanship.

Made in GSA

The "Made in GSA" Competition is a prestigious annual cocktail contest celebrating regional spirits and ingredients from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria—hence the acronym "GSA." Organized by Mixology magazine, it’s the largest independent cocktail competition in Central Europe.  It’s a platform for bartenders to showcase their craft using local ingredients, with a strong focus on storytelling and drink experience.

The site is dedicated to bar culture. It’s a vibrant hub for bartenders, cocktail enthusiasts, and industry professionals, offering deep dives into spirits, cocktail recipes, bar trends, and the people shaping the scene.

Founded in 2003, Mixology has grown from a niche magazine into a full-fledged platform. The site also hosts the prestigious Mixology Bar Awards—often dubbed the “Oscars of the bar world”—and organizes the Made in GSA Competition, a cocktail contest spotlighting regional ingredients.

HUSS main website

The customer provided this very nice design and concept, and asked me to implement it on the basis of Drupal.

It is fully responsive, and features a very fancy scroll effect in desktop mode.  There are a handful of sites in the world with a similar effect but this is only one that is responsive.

I did the whole theming and custom programming for PHP and JavaScript.  A special solution to create several “one-page” screens had to be found.

Meininger Online
